Flawed From The Factory: Taking A Hard Look At The Many Failure Points Of The 68RFE

"As an industry, I believe the 68RFE is 1,000 times better than what we had even just five years ago. New developments have improved its holding capabilities as well as its longevity. We released our manual valve body to help bring these newfound reliability improvements into the high-horsepower street and ‘strip segment. Our manual valve body allows us to use the four strongest gears in the 68RFE. We eliminate the failure rate of the Low/Reverse sprag by using second gear as our first gear and we also remove fifth gear, which is arguably the weakest gear the 68RFE has being that the 4C clutch is so small. I think you’ll see 48RE swaps slow down as more people realize you can have the same dependability in a ‘68 and the same—if not better—shift feel with the manual valve body setup.” - WP Developments’ Ethan Patterson On The Progression Of 68RFE Technology
